One reason I really love the clothing from Peek is that they use really beautiful woven prints for their girls' items. A perfect example of this is the Chrysanthemum top, pictured above. This is currently on sale in size 10 years (x-large) at Nordstrom for $20.80, 60% off the full price of $52.00. Shipping is free for all orders.

Many of you have written that you are trying to find dress shoes for little girls and I think that these Mary Janes from Jumping Jacks look pretty perfect. The stand-out features for me are the easy-to-clean patent leather, the velcro ankle strap, the extended rubber sole at the toe to prevent scuffs and the supportive, padded ankle around the sides and back. These seem to be well thought-out shoes at a much lower price than their fancy European counterparts. On sale right now, with free shipping, from Nordstrom for $23.90, 40% off the full price of $39.50. If you only want to buy one pair of dressy shoes for fall and winter, that metallic pewter color would go with almost anything! Someone please let me know how these fit and hold up because I have very high hopes for them.

Update: I also just noticed that Amazon also carries this Jumping Jacks Mary Jane
and that several of the smaller sizes (19-23 M) have been marked down to $20.99 with free shipping. And they have the red in stock, while Nordstrom seems to have sold out of red completely online. Some of the wide sizes and the sizes bigger than 23 are full price, but play around with their size/color combinations to see if you can find a deal. $20.99 is half off the full retail price.
